+A bidirectional control character was detected in your code. These characters can be used to alter the visual direction of your code and could have unintended consequences
+```
+
+Bidirectional control characters can alter the direction in which text appears to be in. For example, via control characters, you can make `defabc` look like `abcdef`. As a result, if you were to unknowingly copy and paste some code that has these control characters, they may alter the behavior of your code in ways you did not intend. See [trojansource.codes](https://trojansource.codes/) for more information.
